Maxibell French Filet Bush Bean

‘Maxibell’ is a high-yielding French filet bush bean prized for its exceptionally long, slender pods, crisp texture, and refined flavor. Deep green pods are stringless and tender when harvested young, while the concentrated fruit set makes picking quick and convenient. Its gourmet-quality beans are an excellent choice for gardeners who want classic haricot vert-style pods with strong production.

Sow ‘Maxibell’ directly in the garden about 1 inch deep after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Space plants about 2 inches apart and grow in full sun. Plants typically reach 22 to 26 inches tall and grow in a compact bush habit, so no trellising is required.

Ready to harvest in about 57 days, begin picking the 7½-inch pods while they are still young, slender, and tender. Check plants frequently as the crop matures and harvest promptly to maintain the best texture and flavor.

Crisp, delicate, and flavorful, ‘Maxibell’ is excellent for fresh cooking, steaming, sautéing, roasting, and everyday meals.
